Praana ResidenceThailand, Koh Samui

Up here in the mountains of Koh Samui you are surrounded by the rolling jungle and wide sea views of the north-eastern side of the island. Praana Residence reflects this dramatic scenery, taking care to incorporate the landscape’s lush vistas into its own architectural layout. The décor is sumptuous, with authentic Thai design accents such as lanterns and gilt. The villa sleeps up to 12, with a plethora of fitness and relaxation facilities to keep visitors feeling fresh and revitalised. The gleaming sands and sparkling waters of Bophut Beach – and its abundance of nightlife options – are a six-minute drive away. The island's airport is 15 minutes away by car.

Praana Residence is designed to nourish and invigorate your body and soul. It features a host of outstanding sports and wellbeing amenities. These include a floodlit tennis court, a fully-equipped gym, massage and sauna rooms, two infinity pools and an open-air Muay Thai boxing ring. If you’re looking to blow off a little steam, the property has that covered too. The in-house nightclub and bar offer evening entertainment for you and your guests, along with a sleek home cinema and a wine cellar for up to 300 bottles. The opulent interiors feature huge windows, to make the most of the panoramic hillside landscape. Six en suite bedrooms feature rain-shower enclosures and outdoor bath tubs.

Savour a morning coffee in your suite before drifting down to soak up the sun and take a dip in one of the two large pools. Find a secluded spot on the terrace to meditate, or head out for spot of lunch at nearby restaurants Chez Francois or Barracuda. The 20 full-time, on-site staff are always happy to assist, whether you’re hoping to take a scuba diving excursion to Mango Bay or learn to cook exquisite Thai cuisine with a local expert.
